Subject: Server Information

Software Category: system
Supported by: ACS

Description:

If you have a PC or non-RCS UNIX workstation connected to the RPI network via Ethernet or SLIP/PPP, you might want to make use of some services such as electronic mail or usenet. You need to specify certain server addresses in the appropriate software on your machine to do so.

Getting Started:

Servers available are listed below:

Function             Server Name             IP Address
AFS Service          aaron.its.rpi.edu       128.113.100.9
                     hannah.its.rpi.edu      128.113.100.24
                     azariah.its.rpi.edu     128.113.100.26

E-mail               mail1.rpi.edu
 
Usenet               usenet.rpi.edu
 
Domain Name Service  netserv1.its.rpi.edu
                     netserv2.its.rpi.edu
                     netserv3.its.rpi.edu
                     netserv4.its.rpi.edu
                     netserv6.its.rpi.edu
 
Time Service         aaron.its.rpi.edu
                     azariah.its.rpi.edu

none

Possible Problems and Solutions:

If you are connecting to Usenet directly via a SLIP or PPP connection, you cannot post to any newsgroups. We have no way to verify who you are (authenticate you) when you access Usenet this way, so the RPI Usenet server will not let you post.

To post an article to Usenet, log on to RCS with your RCS account and run Usenet from there.
